New rule of the discourse: If you're on here saying we should adopt the no-lockdown Swedish model, then you should be equally forceful in your advocacy of adopting a similar social safety net and universal health coverage. (Otherwise, I can't take you seriously.)

Does it work in reverse? Does everyone who favours Sweden's universal health care have to also support their no-lockdown model?

Does anyone who supports either also have to eat pickled herring and listen to ABBA? Just trying to get a handle on your thought processes

Not me, in this case. I favour Sweden's social safety net stuff—and I honestly don't if Sweden's no-lockdown policy is correct...

One argument in favour of that is that the policy has a straightforward MEDICAL justification:https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/29/delaying-herd-immunity-is-costing-lives/ …

Now that if THAT'S the reason someone favours no-lockdown, then Sweden's other social arrangements are a completely unrelated topic.

You're fucking stupid as always, Henry You've put zero thought or effort into understanding the "medical justification" for the "controlled burn" model of letting infection proceed, even for the purpose of defending it
